Abstract

In the face of escalating threats to global biodiversity, captive breeding programs have emerged as a critical tool for conserving endangered species and preventing their extinction. These programs, which involve the controlled breeding and management of animals in captivity, play a vital role in safeguarding vulnerable populations, restoring depleted populations, and reintroducing species into their native habitats. In this article, we explore the importance, challenges, and successes of captive breeding programs in conservation efforts worldwide.
